Dr. P.M. Bhansali’s story is one of resilience, grit, and unwavering determination. Hailing from the rustic beauty of Rajasthan, his journey from a modest village to the bustling metropolis of Bangalore is an inspiring tale of triumph over adversity.
Born into a humble family, life threw its first curveball when Bhansali was just nine years old. The untimely demise of his father left the family in disarray. As the eldest of five siblings, young Bhansali suddenly found himself burdened with responsibilities that were far beyond his years. His mother, a beacon of strength, worked tirelessly to keep the family afloat, while Bhansali took it upon himself to be a pillar of support for his younger siblings.
“There were days when I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders,” Bhansali recalls. “But I knew that giving up was not an option. My family depended on me.”
Despite the hardships, Bhansali excelled academically. Education became his sanctuary and a beacon of hope for a better future. After completing his graduation, he realized that opportunities in his hometown were limited. With a heart full of dreams and pockets nearly empty, he decided to move to Bangalore, a city that promised a plethora of opportunities.
The transition was anything but easy. Arriving in Bangalore, Bhansali faced the stark realities of city life. Struggling to find a job and a place to stay, he met a lot of challenges. Yet, he never allowed these challenges to dim his resolve. “Every rejection, every obstacle only fueled my determination to succeed,” he shares.
His perseverance eventually paid off when he secured his first job. While it was modest, it marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Bhansali’s relentless pursuit of excellence saw him climbing the professional ladder, earning recognition for his dedication and innovative mindset. He simultaneously pursued higher education, earning a doctorate in his field, a testament to his unyielding spirit.
Today, Dr. P.M. Bhansali is a respected figure in his industry, known not just for his professional achievements but also for his humility and commitment to giving back to society. He has established a scholarship fund for underprivileged students, ensuring that no child is forced to abandon their dreams due to financial constraints.
“I know what it’s like to struggle,” he says. “If my journey can light the way for even one person, then every hardship I faced was worth it.”
It was in 1980 during the course of his industrial career that he joined Rotary club of Bangalore, Indiranagar as a charter member. He was elected as the President of the club in the year 1984-85. Since then a lot of projects were undertaken and accomplished. A few of them include drinking water project at Garudacharapalya, old age home at Whitefield and other projects for the welfare of people. He was awarded the Best President Award in 1984-85.
The story does not end here. Dr Bhansali was elected as the District Governor to lead the District for the year 2002-03. During this tenure he received the highest award by Rotary - 'Service Above Self' by RI. There are many more awards that he has received for his work.
Dr. Bhansali’s journey is a powerful reminder that while life may not always be fair, resilience and hard work can pave the way for incredible achievements.
